"Nothing in the Dark"
"Nothing in the Dark" touches on all the primary facets of dark fantasy. Dark fantasy is primarily concerned with fear, disease, and death. It also contains elements of the supernatural. In "Nothing in the Dark", the main character is an old women who is afraid of death. To her, death comes in the form of a young man. She hides within her house so "Mr. Death" cannot find her. In the end, he finds her none the less.

Try to focus more on the analysis of the film and less on summarizing what happens. Think how and why this represents the genre and explain that to the audience. For example: "The theme of avoidance of death is central to dark fantasy, and the protagonist of Nothing in the Dark is obsessed with prolonging her dismal existence." <--that's what I'm looking for from you!
